Drug Policy & Consulting for Organizations × STRAIGHT EDGE

We develop valid, practical and generalizable or tailored frameworks and strategies. Our work uses the highest quality research methodologies and applications available.

Real Solutions for Real Problems

Drug and addiction policies shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all, nor should they be rooted in outdated thinking. The challenges faced by schools, workplaces, healthcare systems, and governments are unique, and what works in one community may not work in another.

That’s why we focus on building flexible, evidence-driven strategies that meet organizations where they are and guide them to where they need to be.

Framed by lived and living experience and addictions science expertise, our models lead to lasting changes from assessment and early prevention to sustained recovery.

Addiction isn’t about substances – not only. It’s about the systems we live in, the environments we come from, and how society responds.

Real change happens when we focus on practical approaches rooted in empathy, science, and working together – with respect for individual rights and the greater good. Join us in fighting for that change.

Our approach

Real Research

Policies are not built on assumptions. We focus on using the highest quality research and evidence supported by rigorous methodologies that are proven to provide replicable, statistically-valid results for enforcement, prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery outcomes.

Experience + Education

Yeah, we’ve been there – but we don’t lean on that alone. We combine real recovery experience with ongoing Master’s-level education in addiction and wellness. Expect support that’s honest, informed, and gets results.

Tailored Solutions

We create frameworks that work for your organization, your community, and the specific challenges you face. Whether you’re a school, a workplace, or a government body, we adapt to your goals.
